Not as much as I'd like, but more than I probably should.
Some Marvel, some Image, some IDW, some this, some that. I don't choose my comics by publisher, I go with what interests me.
TPB/HC only these days.

Too much..
Currently Marvel, Image & Dynamite. Sometimes other Indies & Vertigo.
Floppies & Digital mostly but sometimes TPBs, usually if I really like a comic (I'm buying the current Ms. Marvel as floppies, but I also bought the TPB so I don't have to keep getting the issues out to share and\or re-read, for example).
Previously, more than I should have. I would drop about $40+ a week on floppies and the occasional TPB. Now I'm typically at about $25 a month, usually Marvel books. I'll treat myself to a TPB once in a while though.
I have been averaging about $75 a week and I have to knock that down to about $50 or I might be moving out to the garage(NO HEAT!). Seriously though Ive gotta cut back. I read Marvel, Image, and DC in floppie and TPB.
About $50 to $60 Dollars per month, although it tends to go up a little when events come out.

Words to live by.
I used to buy about $30-40 a week. Now I've cut down to $15-25 a week. I make up the difference by checking TPBs out of the library. I recently checked out DIAL H VOL. 1, and SPIDER-MEN.
Too much.
averages between $240-$300 a month (that's with a healthy discount, and free shipping from my store of choice).
No Marvel, very light DC, heavy on Image, Dark Horse, Boom!, and indie books.
I buy floppies and the occasional trade.

Usually under $15 a month for mostly independents. I buy all formats depending on the title.
For example, I double dip with Image's Rasputin (physical and digital = at least for this first arc) and physical for Boom's Escape from New York and Robocop (Robo I will probably stop after issue 7.)
Digital and hardcover for 2000ad when a Slaine story is included. I'll buy the 3 month digital 2000ad subscription for $33 or so. And then double dip when the hard cover of that Slaine storyline is published. Next month will be an expensive comics month because of the Slaine hard cover.
As I only buy an occasional Marvel digitally every few months now, (i.e. when an issue of Moon Knight feels like the mid aughts run), I am doing just fine without many Marvel titles I lamented losing with the character shifts/price increases etc.

I try to keep it around $20 a week on average. There are periods, like the last couple months, where I go way over budget.
Currently i am buying mostly DC and Vertigo with a handful of titles from IDW, Dark Horse and Image.
All of my purchases are physical. Most are monthly issues accept for the Vertigo books and Image one (Walking Dead). If I happen to have some light weeks/months I will find something in the graphic novel section to buy.
I'm too scared to really look. Gotta be at least $10 a day, mainly digital.
I am trying to keep it at $100 or less. I used to be a free spender but the boss asked me to budget myself. So I am only buying comixology and digital Dark Horse issues after a price drop. I still buy trades but get them on sales, for gifts and on Amazon mostly. I also get Kickstarters. These blow the monthly budget but I cut back the next months to even it out. It is on the honor system but I do try to be fair about it.
My pull-list consists of 17 Marvel books, I buy about 5 Image\Boom books digitally and try and add to the Omnibus\Deluxe\OHC collection so I reckon about £100.
I have around 12 code trades set up so that helps me read a little more without added expense.
I've spent about 330.00 on trades this month so far, which is way more than normal. Month before that was 210, 165 before that etc.
